All newly opened tabs open with an 'h' in the address bar then the page always tries to find 'www.h.com'. How do I get this to stop?
Firefox version Mozilla 35.0.1
Tab display:
'Problem loading page'
Screen message: Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.h.com.

Something may have changed your settings.
Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

You can change the page loaded in new tabs using a hidden setting:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter your preferred page:
- Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab
- Blank tab => about:blank
- Built-in Firefox home page => about:home
- Any other page => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
If that doesn't fix it, next step is to consider a possible bad add-on.
Thanks to both of you. I tried the about:config method and it was easy and fixed the problem.
